A bold, high-contrast serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and crisp, slightly tapered stroke endings. The shapes lean toward compact, sturdy proportions with a steady vertical stress and clear thick–thin modulation, especially visible in the bowls and curved joins. Uppercase forms feel stately and anchored, while the lowercase shows compact counters, a two-storey “g,” and a sturdy, readable rhythm in text. Numerals are weighty and traditional in feel, with strong verticals and clear, old-style-like curvature in several figures.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its bold contrast and decisive serifs can carry personality. It also fits editorial branding, book jackets, and formal identity work that calls for a traditional serif with strong presence.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition rather than novelty. Its strong contrast and firm serifs suggest a confident, slightly old-world voice suited to established institutions and print-first design.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-oriented serif voice with elevated contrast and a confident, attention-holding weight, balancing classical forms with enough sharpness to work in modern editorial layouts.
Spacing reads generous enough to keep the heavy weight from clogging in words, while the sharp serif terminals add snap to headings. The design’s contrast and compact internal spaces make it most comfortable at display sizes or in short text where the rhythm can breathe.
